Re: This is the Gallery of "Sui Generis Whips" - Jessie Edwards

Thank you, Robby, for giving me a place with the cool kids, and to everyone, for encouraging me to do it. Without you guys I would have never felt good enough to try.

I'm learning, hoping to get better every day. I guess, if my new year had a resolution, being able to say I was a real whipmaker would be it. I only have a few whips that I have made, so until I get a few more finished, these are my first...

Robby helped me with that too. Each name is very a very simple explanation of the handle translated into Latin. I had suggested wanting my whip brand name being Sui Generis. Latin for "something unique" or "of it's own kind" Robby came up with the idea of carrying that theme to each whip. Popolus means willow, etc. I think it was a cool idea.

Jessie, this is fantastic! Well done! And thank you, Robby, for giving Jessie this window to show us her work!

I find Populus especially appealing: it looks like something a Viking might carry - and at the very least, deserves to be used on a film set! (That assumes, of course, that the camera could focus enough on the handle to show how distinctive it is.)

AND - I can reveal that I am now the proud owner of Feather! Due to Christmas, and the weather, I haven't yet put it through its paces properly, but look forward to doing so at an early opportunity. It is a fine whip!
